When Tracker cannot clearly visualize certain areas of the pancreas or when volumetric processes in the pancreas are assumed, MSCT is applied.
MSCT was applied in all 30 patients (100%) to characterize pancreatic diseases. According to the data obtained, in the absence of an increase in the size of the pancreas, MSCT is less informative compared to 3D reconstruction, since it does not provide clear information about changes in the parenchyma of the pancreatic tissue when its radiodensity is close to normal values.
MSCT offers the possibility to diagnose the exacerbations of pancreatitis: calcification, pseudocyst formation, involvement of surrounding organs or atrophy of the pancreatic parenchyma. This method allows the assessment of the impact of soft tissues other than the pancreas and surrounding structures to evaluate the prevalence of processes and inflammatory reactions in the parapancreatic tissues and retroperitoneal spaces. But sometimes fibrotic and inflammatory changes may mimic tumor invasion.
The disadvantage of this diagnostic method is the high cost. Another disadvantage is the strict binding of the acquired images to the transverse plane.
Biophilia Tracker is a very effective diagnostic tool for many diseases and can save you a lot of money.
